At which point Kane starts running down his contract?
His contract runs until 2024, at which point he'll be around 30 I guess, with much of his career behind him. Someone will stump up the money before then. He could do a lot worse than go to City and be Aguero's replacement, they'd be unstoppable.
 
Well Mourino thinks the second half was much better, we were shocking in the first half, in the second half we weren’t much better.

:rolleyes:

With the amount of extra pens they’d get, he’d score 35 goals a season?
 
We played well today, controlled the game in the 1st half and won it in the 2nd.

Salah showed why he’s our best player by a distance.
 
Strange you should mention Kane, as much as he is world class has he really played at the top level in Europe with Spurs on a regular basis. Plus when he finishes his career will he have a great number of trophies. Me and my lad were discussing this earlier. I then said the same about Grealish, he is Villa through and through. Will he stay or will he go. I can understand him staying or going. But will he want trophies. The unfortunate thing is both players will not go for anywhere near the value of pre Covid

Yea big decision he has to make, short career, ambitious, you wouldnt blame him if he moved on.

As for Grealish can’t believe he didn’t go to a bigger club last window, you would think he would have to leave to push on his career.
 
100m might be to much of a gamble given his dodgy ankles.

one thing I will say re Kane, he seems to have massively improved as a footballer as against an out and out goal scorer. As has been said, Levy would be adamant he gets a good figure for Kane should he ever go.
 
Question for the Spurs lot, has JM made Kane a better player now he’s got him playing with his back to goal a lot more?

Now that’s a good question Kane has definitely a different player this season and added a lot more to his game can’t think of any players offhand that have been similar, I would give JM the credit in the change in his play, but I don’t like the fact that he has more touches in our own box than the oppositions.

Is happiness measured by trophies? It's an interesting one, it depends what drives either player.
 
Is it just me or is there a massive increase in players making snidey little stamps on the foot and ankle lately that get minimally punished? Or was i just not that aware of them before? Almost as the way games are reffed sides find new ways
Funnily enough was thinking the same thing over the weekend. A couple I saw looked deliberate.

It's impossible for us to say whether Jose has instructed that change or whether it's Kane himself evolving his game more as his partnership with Son has developed over 5 years.

I think Kane is kind of 50-50 about it. He keeps saying he definitely wants to win trophies, but I think he is desperate for Spurs to meet him in the middle on that as I don't think he wants to leave us. I think he would do so begrudgingly if it finally looks like it's not going to happen and he's 28, 29 and it will be his last chance to join a bigger club. The real interesting question for me is, we're in the League Cup final this season, probably won't win it but if we did, would he consider us being on track then as we'd won a trophy? Or would he just not count that one as so many fans seem not to.

Someone used Shearer as a great comparison, didn't win anything with Newcastle but was happy to stay there and be the driving force at his boyhood team. Although he did win the league with Blackburn before all that. Le Tisser also a fantastic player who was happier being the focal point of his favourite team than going elsewhere to win trophies. How many modern players are like this though? Kane's attitude has always been so fiercely competitive that I do feel he'll leave in the next two years if we're still not looking like competing for the league. Which we almost certainly won't be.
